Brownfield assets suffer from handling large volumes of
unstructured information. Often, such projects do not have
up-to-date/as-maintained 3D models, data warehouses or
integrated operation systems, along with high-quality
structured information. The as-exists information
is difficult to manage. With limited engineering,
administrative and IT personnel on a plant site, organizing and
keeping track of this information is a significant problem,
particularly when the plant is subject to a continual cycle of
updates, revamps, turnarounds and maintenance changes.
